Initial Intel Nehalem Bloomfield CPUs Prices and Release Date

We all know about the Intel Nehalem processors which are yet to be released. Intel’s  initial Nehalem processors will be released in September this year. The 2.66GHz ‘Bloomfield’ CPU will be priced at just $284. Well, that’s the batch price. To get it at that rate you gotta buy 1000 CPUs. So, we can assume that the price will be slightly higher than that.

The Bloomfield Nehalem will also be made available in 2.93GHz and 3.2GHz versions. They’ll be priced at $562 and $999 respectively. A Chinese site HKEPC claims that the 3.2 GHz Nehalem will be an Extreme-branded gaming PC part.

Those of you planning for an upgrade to the Nehalem, you’ll have to get a new motherboard as the sockets will be LGA1366 (4 and 6 cores) and LGA1567 (8 cores). That’s a bit disappointing though. Well, the motherboards will be available only after October.
